The American Sniper and Red Dot Sights

Chris Kyle, if you don’t already know who he is, earned five Bronze Stars with Valor, Two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation, and two Silver Stars during combat tours. How was it that he was such an epic sniper? Well, he used high powered and insanely accurate sniper rifles, some with red dot sights.

What Is A Red Dot Sight?

A red dot sight is an attachment that can go on virtually any gun that is allowable. The reason they are so accurate is because no matter where you eye is, as long as the red dot is pointing at the target, it will most likely hit it. These sights are typically used in close quarters because the shooter can quickly get a good sight on their target. If you are a shooter, whether professionally or recreational, having the best red dot sight from Gun Gods goes a long way.

American Sniper Guns

MacMillan TAC-338 Rifle-’t seen the movie) in the face off with Mustafa in his fourth tour. This gun has a 3-pound trigger, A-5 adjustable stock, McMillan muzzle brake, Leupold scope rings and a Harris Bipod (and of course a bunch of other awesome features).

Sniper rifles are a very important part of combat, as seen in the American Sniper movie, since it is one of the main guns that are used. Along with the red dot sight that can be equipped to these rifles, all of the other features of these weapons were what made Chris Kyle so unstoppable. This movie was a great depiction of the way these sniper rifles are used and how amazingly lethal they can be.
